This function enables you to search for a Keystone Symposia meeting by any word in the meeting title, location, organizer names, meeting summary or sessions (including session names, speaker names and talk titles).

SEARCHING BY A NAME: If you are searching based on a person's name, it is best to enter only part of the name, OR to enter the First Name, the word 'AND', and the Last Name, like this: "James AND Aiken".

KEYWORD(S) ENTERED

WOULD RETURN...

Aiken

James Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, Walter Aikenstein

James AND Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. AikenWould NOT find: Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor

James OR Aiken

James Aiken, James W. Aiken, James R. Aiken, Jim Aiken, Robert Aiken, James Taylor, James Johnson, Jesse James

We often list the person's full name with the Middle Initial.See 'Combined Words' below for more details.

Searches on the Keystone Symposia website can be modified to narrow or expand your search criteria using the terms listed below.

TERM

USE

EXAMPLE

AND

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer AND MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with both 'Cancer' and 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

OR

Used to expand your search.

Cancer OR MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with either 'Cancer' or 'MicroRNA'. If just one of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would be returned in the search. See NOTE below

You may use commas instead of the word OR...so 'Cancer OR MicroRNA' is the same as 'Cancer, MicroRNA'.

NOT

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer NOT MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer' but not 'MicroRNA'. If both of these terms exist, the meeting/abstract would not be returned in the search. See NOTE below

Combined Words

Used to narrow your search.

Cancer MicroRNA - would return any meetings/abstracts with 'Cancer MicroRNA', but not meetings with only 'Cancer', or only 'MicroRNA', or both words...it is expecting to find the term 'Cancer MicroRNA' which is unlikely. The better way to search would be to use 'Cancer AND MicroRNA' or 'Cancer OR MicroRNA', depending on what you were searching for. See NOTE below

Wildcards

Asterisk (*) - Used to expand your search...helpful if you know a part of a word, or part of a name you are looking for.

By default, any keyword you enter on the Keystone Symposia website will be 'wildcarded', so there is no need to enter a special character at the end of your term, such as an asterisk.

NOTE: When using 'AND', 'OR', and 'NOT', the FIRST word must be an exact match...

For example, searching for "Canc AND MicroRNA" is not the same search as "Cancer AND MicroRNA"; the first search would NOT return records with 'Cancer', only the second search would because the full word Cancer was typed.

Summary of Meeting:Carcinogenesis is the result of a complex interplay of cell intrinsic and extrinsic processes that promote genomic instability, sustained proliferation, resistance to apoptosis, reprogramming and reorganization of the stromal environment. An immune cell infiltrate is a characteristic feature of many tumors, and it is increasingly appreciated that immunity and inflammation are key determinants of tumor development and progression. This meeting will consider the molecular and environmental factors that shape the extensive cross-talk between immune, stromal and cancer cells in the tumor microenvironment. Positioned at the interface of cancer cell signaling, stem cells, inflammatory pathways and microbial drivers, this meeting should provide new insights into the factors that control the balance between tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive immunity and inflammation and how this can be applied in the prevention and treatment of cancer. The meeting will attract a multi-disciplinary group of cancer cell biologists, immunologists and inflammation biologists and will be of interest to basic and clinical scientists alike.

The meeting will begin on Sunday, February 5 with
registration from 16:00 to 20:00 and a welcome mixer from 18:00 to 20:00.
Conference events conclude on Thursday, February 9 with a
closing plenary session from 17:00 to 19:00,
followed by a social hour and entertainment. We recommend return travel
on Friday, February 10 in order to fully experience the meeting.

The Integrative Human Microbiome Project (iHMP) is the second phase of the National Institute of Health (NIH) Common Fund's Human Microbiome Project (HMP) program. The mission of the overall HMP is to generate resources to permit comprehensive characterization of the human microbiota to further our understanding of how the microbiome impacts human health and disease. In this phase of the program, the iHMP is creating integrated longitudinal datasets of biological properties from both the microbiome and host from three different cohort studies of microbiome-associated conditions using multiple "omics" technologies. Tools, datasets and other resources from the first phase of the project are available at the HMP DACC. The three iHMP projects have recently completed primary data generation and are entering an initial analysis phase, and this session will detail the data and resources made available to the research community by: 1) the Multi-Omic Microbiome Study: Pregnancy Initiative (MOMS-PI) at Virginia Commonwealth University, 2) the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Multi'omic Data (IBDMDB) resource from the Broad Institute and a nation-wide research tam, and 3) Integrated Personal 'Omics Profiling (IPOP) from Stanford University and the Jackson Laboratory for Genomic Medicine.
